Why it happens
Young people of all ages use drugs, alcohol and tobacco for different reasons, like to:
– Fit in
– Feel good
– Cope
– Perform better
– Try something new
They can find themselves susceptible to addiction, based on a lot of things — many they can’t control:
– Family history of dependence
– Pain following surgery or injury
– Failing/poor academics
– Social difficulty
– Depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions
– Trauma, early life stress, or sexual/physical abuse
– Lack of supervision at home
